Lyrics pray. - SmooveDonn

Hello, cousin. I just finished off my gym sesh
Of course, my favorite song ever. I haven't heard it in a while
So I was listening to that last workout
And all I want to say is, thank you for pursuing your dream

Thank you for going after it. Thank you for never giving up
I pray to God I never see the day that he come and snatch this talent from me
It's been a hard time trying to find the balance for me
Confess to yall my sins, to help me to right my wrongs
But it's funny how them same wrongs helping me write this song
When I die, play this when I'm gone
Play this when I'm gone

Play this when I'm gone
Play this when I'm gone
Play this when I'm gone
Play this when I'm gone

I got a OG that I work with
He stay dropping knowledge throughout the work shift

He found out I rap, so I shared him one of my verses
Sent him home with a link, he came back in love with my first shit
All the way up to my last shit
He said it's all classic

I can't wait to see you blow cause you earned it
He used to rap, but he never had reached the surface
When he look at me online, he can see that I reached a further point than he did
He said your shit motivatin' for certain

I just pray that you keep working
Cause looking back, the money that I made was really worthless
I've been in prison cells, pushed caine, and seen murders
But you on the right track, Donn, the lane you in is perfect

I wake up every morning and I hate the life I live
Cause ain't no way that this my purpose
That conversation been weighing heavily ever since
If I don't make it in music, I'll be in his shoes

Having a conversation with youngins coming up next and shit
So I gotta keep moving, keep moving, keep moving
I don't know if you have days where you feel like you wanna give up
But I hope you don't, boy

But boy, I hope you don't
I love you so much
I heard your performance went so well the other month
So excited for what God has for you

I'm always here
And I just love you and pray for you all the time
I pray to God I never see the day that he come and snatch this talent from me
It's been a hard time trying to find the balance for me

The lack of sleep been dragging my body down hard as fuck
But then my algorithm numbers say I ain't work hard enough
Sometimes I fiend to see a viral moment
It's like I upload the shit, they hit the silence on it

Look, I try to keep on swinging cause I really love this sport
But how many strikeouts until I leave screaming, fuck this sport
Frustration from the core
If I can't see the finish line, then what the fuck I'm running for

Niggas preaching marathon, then why you stop running yours
Why you, why, why I can't knock down the doors
Why does every single drop feel like it flops out the stores
This the shit that made me wish I didn't jot down a chorus

Run it back to 2019 where I stopped playing sports
Put the rock back in my hand and earn my spot back on the court
Fighting for a scholarship to smashing thots back in the dorms, huh
My attitude, the reason I wasn't great as I could be

I still wish death on the bitches who overlooked me
I ain't perfect, I stand on that shit with my two feet
Fuck your lash pages, your hair pages and boutiques
I usually show a lot of love, but this is deeper than rap

So fuck how you view me
I still got some maturing to do
Trying to piece it all together like I furnished the room
I pray to God I never see the day that he come and snatch this talent from me

It's been a hard time trying to find the balance for me
Confess to y'all my sins to help me to right my wrongs
But it's funny how them same wrongs helping me write this song
When I die, play this when I'm gone

Play this when I'm gone
Play this when I'm gone
Play this when I'm gone
Play this when I'm gone
